Joy to the World Christmas Card.

Hello Everyone,

Hope your weekend has got off to a good start and you are looking forward to a relaxing Sunday. These weekends seem to go by so quickly. Here is my no. 8 card for my friend Jane's MacMillan Nurses coffee morning. The stamp set I have used is a Joanna Sheen set. I delved down into my stamp container to find it. I really like this stamp set, as it is so different. It is called 'Three Kings.' I have coloured it with watered down Starlight paints. Apologies for the photograph, the colours do not show up true, the base card is a light cream and the Kings have a very pretty sparkly sheen.

(1) Using the linen cream card, make a 6" square base card.

(2) Stamp the four corner images onto the cream card, using a black ink pad, cut out and glue one in each corner of the base card.

(3) Stamp the Kings onto another piece of cream card, again using a black ink pad.

(4) Die-cut a large scalloped circle from grey card and glue to the card centre.

(5) Die-cut a smaller scalloped circle from white card and colour with the yellow and blue distress ins.

(6) Glue the coloured circle to the grey circle.

(7) Cut out the Kings and colour with the watered down orange oxidized and antique gold Starlight paints.

(8) Fix the Kings to the centre of the coloured circle, using silicone glue to add some dimension to the card.

(9) Stamp 'Joy to the World' on the bottom of the base card, using a black ink pad.

(10) Glue a square gem to the top and bottom of the sentiment and a star gem to the top of the card.

That's all from me tonight my friends, many thanks for visiting my blog. I will be back soon with another card so see you all then.

About Me

Hi there, my name is Jennifer, I have 2 sons and 1 beautiful grandson, who is the light of our lives.My hubby puts up with my addiction to card making, not to mention my untidy craft room. I can't find anything when it is tidy, lol! We live in the peace and tranquility of the countryside where I get some of my inspiration for my creations. I have crafted for most of my life, from cross stitch, porcelain doll making to Pergamano and more, but the last 30 years have been dedicated to card making and is my real passion.I met Sue and Harvey of Imagination Crafts over 10 years ago, when they asked me to make some cards for them and we have been good friends ever since. I feel truly privileged to be part of their design team. Thank you for stopping by to visit my blog and I hope you find some inspiration for your creations. Hugs, Jennifer xx
